Shawn M Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 oooo cool, the Ontos is such a neat looking "tank" Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanes Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Nice! That seems like a good reason to bin my Academy Ontos which is sitting on the shelf of doom for around ten years now. Ryan, firefly7, LSP_K2 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It is neat looking but so many more significant subjects that would work in 1/16 from that era. What about an M113 series? Tons of cool variants spanning 50 years with that subject size should be okay also for 1/16. Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Give it time, I'm sure a lot of subjects will be released. Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting, and cool, but the armor I'm primarily interested in, is WWII German stuff, and those kits seem to be growing in number every day. I'd also like a Russian JS-2 and JSU-152 (already have the T-34/85), and to grab another 1:16 US M16 half-track, German Kubelwagen, and I'd be a very, very happy guy.

cbk57 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 My ideal 1/16 kit at the moment is probably a SAS jeep. SOL model makes it in resin. I am leaning toward getting one. Ryan, Rick Griewski and LSP_K2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I like the Ontos in 1/16 very much. With a couple of Marines, it could make a nice Hue vignette that wouldn't take up huge space. The other one I had never heard of, and seems a very odd choice considering only 2 prototypes were ever built. Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed; not a real practical looking vehicle at all. Ryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 The Ontos really needs the interior IMHO. Open the doors and all can be seen firefly7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab walking backwards as the guns are fired. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted jayson Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Nobody has posted since this was delivered. I’ll be starting mine today. The only thing wrong,SO FAR,is,NO ENGINE! Is it a conspiracy between the aftermarket cartel and Takom? LMFAO! I’m going to start her anyway. I’ll leave the hull loose,so WHEN the aftermarket engine update is released,I can install it. Im building in honor of 2 of my M/L Brothers who served with this “Thing” in Nam. Their only comment? DO NOT stand behind it when she fires!
